The race for governor in Colorado has seen a heated battle in the last month with the two Republican candidates, Rep. Bob Beauprez and millionaire Marc Holtzman, beating on each other right and left. The drama took a new turn today when Holtzman's campaign filed a criminal complaint against Beauprez for allegedly stealing Holtzman's rolodex. Beauprez is one of the Republican members most closely tied to...you guessed it, Tom DeLay. The apple doth not fall far from that tree, apparently.

The popular political blog Colorado Pols has been on the story, which will break tomorrow in the Colorado mainstream media, from the beginning. Former Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter is the only Democrat in the race currently, and he's been content to sit back and watch the Republicans beat the piss out of each other.
